Summary
The difference between a labyrinth and a maze is that a labyrinth has one path but a maze has many.
Alhaitham is lying in front of him, breathing shallowly. Kaveh cannot tell if he is asleep or unconscious, but it probably doesn’t matter. He is lying in their bed or he is sinking into a pond filled with lotuses or he is on display like a statue on a bed of marble or he is trapped in the roots of Irminsul – or he is in all of these places at once because this is in Kaveh’s mind, and his head is bursting with the ways that Alhaitham could be lying before him.
Kaveh touches Alhaitham, not with his hands but with his eyes. He takes in the shape of Alhaitham’s body piece by piece, from the tips of his fingers up the slope of his arm towards the curve of his face. “Vision happens in the brain, not in the eyes,” he remembers Alhaitham telling him at some point in the past. It feels like the words are echoing around him, whispers layering over each other.
The wire that attaches to Alhaitham’s earpiece is pulsating; something fluorescent is flowing out of it. Kaveh is strangely convinced that Alhaitham’s mind is coming out of his head and that substance is full of temptation.

Summary
He writes the book as a coping mechanism. The Adventures of Star-Lord isn't a best seller, but it does help Gregg Quill get over the loss of his daughter, his grandson: helps him pick back up and keep on living.
He doesn't expect, almost thirty years later, to find that his little Star-Lord has grown into the galaxy's Star-Lord.
He doesn't expect to have the story come to life before him, in the flesh: with a few crucial revisions.
He certainly doesn't expect Peter to come back home.

Summary
Barbara meets a woman with the most beautiful liver spots in the world. Barbara meets a girl who is secretly a werewolf. Sometimes, after volunteering at the women's shelter, Barbara looks at her ceiling and misses Barbieland with a brutal ferocity. It doesn’t stop, is what gets Barbara. There is not one single solitary corner of the real world that ever takes a break from hating women. There are so few gaps. There is a way of hating women for every single type of person to enjoy. There is never a bad day to do it, there is no home it does not live within, there is no romance without its beveled edge. But also, Barbara meets a woman in a beautiful old shirtdress who looks like if an avalanche was a person.
Or: Barbara loves womanhood. But mostly, she loves women.

Bookmarker's Notes
What you mean to say to Eönwë, this time, again, is, I regret. I have lost.
Meaning fallen Númenor; Atalantë; Akallabêth; meaning the cities fallen into the waves; meaning the useless devotion, the pointless worship its people poured out at your feet, that you spent like water; meaning the faith of its people that they gave to you unstinting; meaning the love that weakened you, the kindness you never meant to show.
